Lisa Amiri Dad, I think we should put your bird feeder on a pulley system so you don't have to "shovel a path" to your bird feeder. Can we do that?

Good evening everyone I haven't posted for awhile but feeling real good and just finished my 36 times at rehab they thought I did well and had some improvement, so now it's up to me to keep it up on my treadmill and long walks in the park. I want to lose enough weight to get rid of most of my pills. My heart doctor said no problum. See you later remember baby steps.Tom

You and I have the same goal. Good luck!

Enrique K Exercise will do the trick Tom! Keep up the good work

Today was my first of many rehab visits and it wasn't to bad but I'm sure it will get tougher soon first day tread mill for 30min. Then biking for twenty five in, saw a bunch of strange machines around the room but I guess it's baby steps. That's about all for now I'm going to look around and see if I can find a book like we all read only for liver transplants my good friends wife just had one and he's going to need all the help he can get.

Hildred "Peggy" Lyons' first signs of liver problems occurred back in 1968, around the time of her son's birth, when her physician noticed she had elevated liver enzymes. An otherwise healthy woman who worked and also volunteered as a fitness instructor at her church teaching several classes a day to both adults and children, Lyons [...]

Terrie Syvertsen Hello Tom. Yes. I had the full sternotomy with my valve replacement and early on into recovery had a small click in the upper portion of that area. Especially when getting into "sleep" positions when moving a little too quickly or turning from side to side(again, too quickly). I talked to my cardiologist early on and he said that was the sternum adjusting while recovering from stress of surgery and to keep being gentle and not to hard on the sternum area as it continues to heal. I had no pain when this happened. If there is pain I would check with a health care person to be sure. Take care and Happy Healing. (By the way, my clicking lasted on and off a couple of months.

Tom's daughter Lisa again. So happy that my father is home and on his way to recovery! It's been a long week for us but it does not compare to the week he has been through. I'd like to thank all of my friends, family and clients for all of your prayers and support. A BIG thank you to Dr. Wael Jaber for being the wonderful doctor that you are! Dr. Douglas Johnston for fixing my Dad's ❤ and all the nursing staff on J5-3 at the Cleveland Clinic. We really appreciate everything that you do! I also wanted to thank you all on this site for the your guidance, advice and support! You have all been so wonderful!

Tammy Pilcher Yay Tom! Prayers for continued recovery! Thanks Lisa!

Well, hopefully this will be the last post I make for my father. I told him tonight when I left that tomorrow he will be leaving his post:) The night leading into this morning was not good. Basically......DRUGS SUCK! Well, narcotics do anyway. Throughout the night and a good part of the morning, my dad was someplace else. They removed the strong pain meds and a few hours later, my dad was back. At times there is a bit of fog which is expected from the mixture of anesthesia and drugs. His doctor said it takes 3-6 months to fully leave the body in older adults. On the bright side, by the end of the day he walked down the hallway three times, does not complain doing his spirometer and his pain level has been moderate. I'm hoping he has a great night and tomorrow will be one day closer to recovery. Good night all, take care ❤️.

Bob M One day closer to recovery! Amen!

Tammy Pilcher Prayers for continued recovery! God bless!

Hi Heart Family, Tom's daughter Lisa again with a report. Today looked promising, his doctor sent me a text photo of my dad to me from ICU and he looked good. When my mother and I arrived, he had really great color, sounded much better than surgery day but was still really sleepy and complained about pain. When they stabelized his BP, they moved him to a step down room where he got more rest but had nausea from time to time. as the day progressed, he would wake up confused and disorientated at times and other times his self? All that medication is doing crazy things. I wish I could wave a magical wand and make things all better. My mother is going to stay with him tonight so I feel good about that. My mother keeps making him do the spirometer so I'm not sure he's going to want us to be there much, lol. Till tomorrow, good night heart friends💗.

Terrie Syvertsen Tom, Lisa and Wife! It is hard to see the "right after" loved one coming out of the anesthesia and drugs that are necessary for our "Team" to do their
work on our hearts but I wanted to tell you this is typical at first for all of us who went through surgery as we all have to make our way out of the fogginess of all that took place while we were "under" and we each experience it differently. Like Bob M. said- Day by Day.......Soon it will be like an old forgotten dream and as it gets better, little by little the pain subsides and strength returns while we all focus on recovery. My best to you and your family and you are blessed to have each other at such an important time. Prayers and good wishes for Tom to have a restful night and a good morning. Bless you with all our hearts........

Hello Heart Family, Tom McInerney's daughter here with a new report. It's been a LONG day! We were up at 4am, at the hospital by 5:15. Surgery started at 8:30 and we spoke to the surgeon at 1:00. All went well with the valve replacement, YEAH! they ended up having to replace the root of his aorta due to calcium buildup so he has two incisions rather than one. 4:45 we finally got to see him but he is still sleeping and has his breathing tube in. We hope to be able to see him by 6:30 awake and without the tube. Thank you all for your prayers and keeping him in your thoughts, we really appreciate it. Also thinking of Julie and Larry today and hope things went well for them.

I was diagnosed with Aortic Stenosis and am due to have my valve replaced on June 22nd at the Cleveland Clinic. The last three weeks I've been getting ready for my surgery. I started with my dental check up, followed by a cardiac catheterization which I was told I have the arteries of a 20 year old. They are nice and clear so no bypass😃. I am finishing up with my last round of tests this week and consult with my surgeon. I'm anxious to get this done so I can start my recovery.
